No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you — that's an alpaca walking around in an optician's office. The fluffy mammal walked into an optician's office in Hennebont, France after authorities believe it escaped from a nearby farm, SWNS reports. As the alpaca walked past the store, the automatic doors opened and the curious camelid decided to venture in for a closer look. Photographer Pierre-yves Nicolas spotted the furry creature and said it appeared to be at ease, checking itself out in the mirrors. "The alpaca walked down the street, past my studio and stopped in front of the opticians' shop," the...

By Next Wednesday we will have FINALLY gotten over the HUMP that is the Obama administration! Next Wednesday shouldn't be "Hump Day", it should be the first Wednesday with Donald J Trump as POTUS and so in honor of Him, we should call it the 1st annual "Trump Day" !

Students at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota cancelled a “Hump Day” party last week featuring a live camel following complaints that the event could be viewed as offensive to Middle Eastern cultures. The campus’ Residence Hall Association nixed its own event after several students began organizing a protest on Facebook. The protest had received more than 100 RSVPs before it was deleted Wednesday, according to aThursday report in Campus Reform. The episode has since triggered a social-media backlash against campus political correctness, with critics expressing incredulity over the idea that a camel is somehow culturally insensitive or racist....

Students at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota have cancelled an event to celebrate the end of the year after complaints that bringing a camel on campus could offend those of Middle Eastern cultures. The “Hump Day” event, put on by the Residence Hall Association (RHA), was supposed to be “a petting zoo type of atmosphere” in which students could hang out and take photos with a live camel. According to Aaron Macke, the group’s advisor, the camel is owned by a local vendor and trained for special events. But the event was subsequently cancelled after students took to...

Dromedaries were strolling on train tracks in Negev unsupervised; no passengers injured in crash. Fourteen camels were killed near the Negev town of Segev Shalom after being struck by an oncoming train. No passengers were injured in the collision. The camels were apparently loitering unsupervised on the train tracks in a poorly-lit area. Following the crash Tuesday night, the train driver stopped at the nearest station for inspection and alerted the police. The train continued on to Beersheba shortly after. The police were working with local veterinarians to track down the camel owners. “Animals roaming on the train tracks are...

Guess What Day it is? Alice B. ToklasWhat is sauce for the goose may be sauce for the gander but is not necessarily sauce for the chicken, the duck, the turkey or the guinea hen. George Carlin We're having something a little different this year for Thanksgiving. Instead of a turkey, we're having a swan. You get more stuffing. Mitch Hedberg I hate turkeys. If you stand in the meat section at the grocery store long enough, you start to get mad at turkeys. There’s turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastrami. Some one needs to tell the turkey, ‘man,...

I don't know if waking up to this every Wednesday would fill me with joy, or strike fear. It's kind of doing both now...

There's a lot of chatter about today's Congressional hearings with HHS Secretary Sebelius on the crappy launch of Obamacare.It's a waste of time. They don't care that its a mess, it was designed to be. Liberals are already trying to spin it as the conservative compromise (even though not one Republican, even the RINOs voted no) and that single payer is the REAL solution.That's the endgame, and they've never been shy about hiding it.The real explanation for why Democrats have failed America on this is a lot simpler and less time consuming than a congressional hearing...

Students at a Connecticut elementary school have been irritating teachers because they imitate the Geico 'Hump Day' commercial featuring a camel that walks around an office and asks workers what day it is. Some students at the Vernon Center Middle School reportedly disregard what day it is when they use the phrase, and use it on days that are not technically 'hump days.'

Geico might be known for its little lizard, but it's the camel that’s stirring up trouble. You might have seen their latest commercial. A camel walks through a workplace asking people what day it is. He’s super excited about it being hump day. Funny, right? Teachers at least one Connecticut middle school aren’t fans, because the kids are screaming “HUMP DAY” in the halls, students told HLN affiliate WFSB. They say it’s distracting, and they want it to stop. …

"The absolute BEST day of the week, the day of maximum hope that maybe, you might make it out of this week alive. A particularly good hump day can last you the rest of the week, and by Doomday morning (Monday) you survive by anticipating hump day. Nothing goes wrong on hump day Most other days can be defined by hump day. Tuesday is the day before hump day. Thursday is one day after hump day. Except Friday is WOOOH!!! FREEDOM!!! Day, Saturday is Mostly Hungover day, and Sunday is PreDoom day. Hump day has nothing to do with sex....

Evidence for health claims is thin, but a Pittsboro woman is pushing for testing. There is nothing smooth about a cool glass of camel's milk. The animals aren't cooperative, milk production is less than stellar and it's illegal to sell across state lines. Still, proponents, led by Millie Hinkle of Pittsboro, say camel's milk may be an elixir, curing maladies from allergies to autism to diabetes – although the science behind such claims is thin. The prospect of a cure-all is what inspires Hinkle, a naturopathic physician who read about the health benefits in a magazine three years ago and...

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!! Its all downhill to the weekend now... I plan on doing the same thing that I have done every other weekend. Come on in and enjoy the fun.

In his highly anticipated memoir, former Gov. James E. McGreevey writes of his deep love for the man who ended his political career, the destruction of his second marriage and the events that forced him into his stunning admission on national television that he is gay. In "The Confession," the former governor also touches on New Jersey's sometimes seamy political landscape, where cash, cronyism and a handful of powerful men intersect. But the 384-page book focuses mostly on McGreevey's secret life, from his frequent sexual encounters with men at highway rest stops to his infatuation with Golan Cipel, the Israeli...

We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!A new Pope is elected, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who has chosen the name, Pope Benedict XVI. The libs are whining already about how it could result in “continued internal dissension within the church.”President Bush will more than likely be naming Marine Gen. Peter Pace as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of...
